Miyares was sworn into the position of Virginia Attorney General on Jan. 15 alongside Republican Governor Glenn Youngkin, according to the Richmond Times-Dispatch.
"During the campaign, it was made clear that now Attorney General-elect Miyares and Attorney General Herring have very different visions for the office," Miyares spokesperson Victoria LaCivita said, according to the Richmond Times-Dispatch. "We are restructuring the office, as every incoming AG has done in the past."
